A novel approach to reduce spurious switching activity in high-level synthesis. (c2009)

Aaraj (El), Elie (2010-09-24)

Optimizing area and timing have long been considered to be the main design challenges in high-level synthesis. A lot of research has been conducted in this area and many techniques to improve performance have been suggested. ...
Stochastic-based production costing model. (c2010)

Hamdan, Hassan A. (2010-12-20)

The Lebanese Electric Power System (LEPS) suffers from technical and financial deficiencies that required the development of a policy paper to rescue the power sector from the current drastic situation to a new sustainable, ...
Proposal and analysis of novel availability aware protection schemes in WDM optical networks. (c2009)

Sawwah, Timothy I. (2010-12-20)

With the frequent occurrence of fiber cuts in optical core networks and the tremendous loss that a failure may cause, the design of survivable optical networks is becoming of extreme importance to optical network operators. ...
Free-space-optical communications over turbulent channels. (c2009)

Bkassiny, Mario (2010-12-20)

Local Area Networks (LAN’s) are being expanded over large geographic areas and they are used in many business fields. Thus, communication links between buildings are to be optimized in order to achieve high transmission ...
Cooperative diversity for free space optical communications. (c2010)

Slim, Ahmad (2011-01-07)

In this work, we investigate the cooperative diversity technique as a candidate solution for combating turbulence-induced fading over Free-Space Optical (FSO) links. In particular, a one-relay cooperative diversity scheme ...
The elderly care center. (c1996)

Sakr, Elie (2011-04-18)
Fire station, Beirut. (c1997)

Mattouk, Patrick Elias (2011-04-18)
Towards an event-driven scheduling of the setup of optical connections. (c2011)

Sinno, Abdelghani (2011-10-04)

Supporting the diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the everemerging Internet applications is one challenging task for optical networks' operators. To come to grips with this challenge, we propose a QoS-Aware ...
IEEE 802.11 wireless mesh network. (c2008)

Khabbaz, Maurice (2011-10-06)

The IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) gained widespread popularity as a layer-2 protocol for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). While the continuous lack of accurate analytical 802.11 MAC models as well as the ...
Achieving full transmit diversity for PPM constellations with any number of Antennas via double position and symbol permutations. (c2008)

Baba, Zeina (2011-10-11)

Encoding and decoding techniques present in the literature, mainly designed for radio frequency (RF) applications, face many problems when applied in optical wireless (OW) communications. These schemes seem to have lacks ...
Efficient area optimization in high level synthesis using priority-driven simulated annealing. (c2009)

Abi Saad, Maria (2011-10-24)

One of the major enhancements that can be made to the synthesis process is reducing the overall area of a design in order to either decrease the manufacturing costs or introduce more functionality to the design. Optimizing ...
EDF-based connection setup management in WDM optical networks. (c2009)

Bardan, Raghed A. El (2011-10-24)

The worldwide network domain tendency to evolve towards dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) enabled wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks is imminent. WDM has drastically increased the transmission capacity ...
Novel pseudo random bit generator for improved security. (c2008)

Hobeika, Jad G. (2011-10-24)

Due to the emergence of new sensitive communication applications like eCommerce and online banking; secure communication, electronic identification and authentication are becoming a must. Cryptography is the technique ...
Enhanced technology mapping for FPGAs with exploration of cell configurations. (c2011)

Zgheib, Grace Joseph (2011-11-04)

In the state of the art Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), logic circuits are synthesized and mapped on clusters of look-up tables. However, when additions need to be performed, an adder along with a carry-chain is ...
A parallel ant colony optimization to globally optimize area in high-level synthesis. (c2011)

Kozhaya, David Elias (2011-11-29)

Data path synthesis is still regarded by researchers as one of the hardest problems in high level synthesis, the process of transforming a hardware descriptive language model, which describes the behavior of a given ...
Power and temperature aware functional unit binding in high level synthesis. (c2011)

Bassil, Layale (2011-11-29)

This project elaborates on the possibility of optimizing the power consumed by the functional units by optimizing the functional unit binding technique. Functional unit binding maps the operations in each control step ...
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) manual for Lebanon. (c1996)

Nemer, Randa (2012-01-31)
Delay-tolerant codes for the decode-and-forward cooperation in wireless networks. (c2009)

Marmar, Ali Rida H. (2012-03-08)

With the great growth of wireless devices and communication, there is a huge demand for higher data rates. To respond to this growing demand, fourth generation (4G) wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) might adopt cooperation ...
Enhancement of blocking performance in all-optical WDM networks. (c2012)

Joun, Carla J. (2012-06-01)

Optical networking is a promising solution to the growing bandwidth requirements of today’s communication networks. The continuous challenge is to look for technological advances to improve network capacity, reliability, ...
Numerical simulation of damage to massive stone columns due to earthquakes. (c2012)

Merchak, Ursula Aref (2013-02-28)

Large seismic events have historically occurred in the Middle East and particularly in Lebanon causing severe deterioration and destruction of historical monuments. In 1202 and 1759, Lebanon experienced two of the strongest ...
